言教不如身教。。。或。。。身教重于言教。。。呵呵，都一样。。。。上面的翻译很口语话，非常好。。here I want to remind the forum moderator  of the mistake in the sentence.  It should be "than"... 小心了哦，O(∩_∩)O~

  hehe,I know.at first I thought it is just a slip of pen. In fact, I haven't ever seen this sentence before. I just conjectured the meaning and thought it might be wrong....just now I cousult  the net. they all use "then"......and they even use the sentence "better later then never" which we usually say"better late than never",  so maybe it is right because sometimes they have the same pronounciation.
